Oceanty90 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 What does it mean to have recurrent dreams from time to time about being abused held against will at a young age or someone trying to drown you? In my dream (which I only see blurry images, not the whole complete picture), I'm always a little girl and a stranger is either abusing me or pushing me into a pool but I always end up waking up. I never get to finish what I'm dreaming about. A couple days ago, my bf had to wake me up. He asked if I was ok, to which I said yes. Then he explained how I kept repeating the name Carl over and over again and then saying no, please don't. I have no recollection of a Carl nor what I said when he told me this. I have no memory of being abused but yet dream about it and seems like it actually took place at some point. Did it? Link to post Share on other sites
Author Oceanty90 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 I clearly don't remembered anything. I told my parents and others about it and they all say it was just a bad dream. I get that part but why it's it the same dream and whenever it tries to go further, I end up waking up. This has been going on for about a year now. Does it wants me to remember?

Emilia Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I have no memory of being abused but yet dream about it and seems like it actually took place at some point. Did it? Not necessarily. There is a lot of evidence of false memory or secret desires resurfacing this way. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Oceanty90 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Have you considered hypnotherapy?If it helps bring me back whatever memories were left over, yes I will consider it. Does this always work? Link to post Share on other sites
TaraMaiden Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I personally found it very helpful with an issue I had about 25 years ago. I needed 4 sessions... It depends on you ability to let your subconscious open up..... Hypnotherapy is a safe practice. You would never be able to 'step' into realms that would ahrm you. And it can't 'make' you do what would be against your nature to do, in a fully 'awake' state; for example, you couldn't hypnotise a catholic Nun and get her to knife someone....! (Bit extreme, but you get the gist.!) You control your psyche. The hypnotherapist merely leads and conducts....Your doctor may know of a good therapist, or ask via word of mouth. Always go by referrals, but remember, it also depends on the person's receptivity. Link to post Share on other sites
HKcolon Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I've suffered recurrent nightmares based on a sexual assault where I was ALMOST raped. The nightmares began afterward, and in every one I wake up right before being raped, so I would say you might be experiencing a flashback. How often have you been having these dreams? Since childhood? Link to post Share on other sites
